About the role

  • We are looking for a Senior Motion Graphics Designer to join Scarab Digital as a freelance independent contractor on active productions.
  • This is project-based contract work, but not one-off thinking.
  • We are looking for someone we can bring back repeatedly because the work gets better when they are involved.

Responsibilities

  • Design and animate complex UI/FUI and on-screen graphics systems for film and television.
  • Take on the most challenging builds and step in when a project needs stronger direction, stronger judgment, or stronger execution.
  • Mentor other designers through direct feedback, practical support, and high standards.
  • Push design beyond the expected when it strengthens the scene, while still protecting the brief, story need, and production reality.
  • Own outcomes, not just deliverables.
  • lead through doing, not just by having opinions.
  • 7+ years of relevant experience, with a portfolio that clearly supports senior-level judgment and execution. For candidates carrying substantial direction/mentorship weight, 8-10+ years is typical.
  • High-end design fundamentals across typography, layout, composition, color, rhythm, and motion.
  • Ability to move fluidly between concept, art direction, build, revision, and final delivery.
  • A senior contract role for a highly accountable designer who can shape visual direction, mentor others, and carry the hardest builds without losing the story.

Requirements

  • you know when to push and when to simplify.

Nice to have

Benefits

  • This role is for a high-trust senior who can carry difficult builds, help shape visual direction, interpret evolving vision needs, and strengthen the team around them while still being deeply hands-on.
  • Interpret vision needs early, especially when the brief is still forming, and turn them into something the team can build from.
  • can collaborate on vision, direct vision, and also interpret vision when it is still emerging.
